 Oh it's time. It's time. For what? For the curious trash show. Sit back and relax. We'll sing chat and laugh on the curious trash show. Welcome back everybody. You're getting so good at that song. And now we're going to do Who's Who in the Curious Crew. Oh, except today I'm going to ask if Dona could you pass this over to Dona? Okay, Dona is going to use the puppet Jeanette. So are you ready Dona? I'm ready to. Here we go. Who's Who on the Curious Crew. With a shell for us. This is Jeanette. Hi. And this is George. He's the quiet one. Now who else is on the Curious Crew. Hey Dona and Jeanette will you ask everyone their names? What's your name Maddie? Hi Emily. Hi Emily. What's your name Aurora? Hi Susanna. What's your name? I'm Dorothy. Hi Dorothy. What's your name? Dona. Hi Dona. Okay. Are you ready? Okay. We're going to just sing. We're going to sing this verse and the chorus and then I'm going to surprise you. Okay Maddie are you ready? For the curious giraffe song. Here we go. Oh I hear the surprise. Okay you can hold her for a minute. Or him. We don't know if that's a mother or a father or who. Okay here we go. Giraffe looked over at my mother and said I know you're so important to your family at home. I'm curious what else you do on your own underneath this one big sky oh yeah. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five yeah. We're different and we know it but we all get along cause we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong and sometimes our grandmothers take care of us. Giraffe looked over at my grandmother and said I know you're so important to your family at home. I'm curious what else you do on your own underneath this one big sky oh yeah. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five yeah. We're different and we know it but we all get along cause we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong. And I saw you sharing Savannah. You had it for a little while. Maddie's curious. Thank you Lauren. You all are doing a good job sharing. Just like we talk about in the song. So who else might take care of children in a home and create a family? We have mothers do, grandmothers do, who else? Yes. Fathers. Fathers who else? Grandfathers. And grandfathers who else? Yes. Oncles and aunties. Oncles and aunties. How about if you aren't even related to someone? Could maybe someone be a family even if you weren't born into the same family? Sometimes they make what's called foster families. Grownups want to have children and children need grownups and they say let's be a family together. Adoption. So an adoption and they make it permanent to say yes we want to always be family. So there can be many different kinds of families. So I have a song that says there are all kinds of families. So Maddie, I need you and Doné. How about we'll both of you pass those back over here and they'll watch the show because you're going to need your hands for the show. Okay, that's it. They can watch. Okay Maddie? Thank you. That's fine. They'll watch from here. Okay. They're cute. Alright, so let's do there are all kinds of families. I'll lead on the verses. You all do the chorus with me, okay? Ready? Remember the sign for families? There are all kinds of families when we take time to sing. When we look at our families they're as different as can be. But the fact about a family is that love is the key. Yes, it's love that makes a family. Good job on the signing. Some families have a mom and a dad, a boy and a girl. Some of us have folks who came from all around the world. And some families have two moms or dads and maybe boys and girls. Oh, it's love that makes a family. I'll do it with you this time. There are all kinds of families when we take time to sing. When we look at our families they're as different as can be. But the fact about a family is that love is the key. Yes, it's love that makes a family. And some families stay together and some families change. And they live in different houses but the love remains. Whether mommy or your daddy or grandparents tuck you in. Oh, it's love that makes a family. Here we go. There are all kinds of families when we take time to sing. When we look at our families they're as different as can be. But the fact about a family is that love is the key. I'm going to sing one more verse. And some families have lots of pets and some families have none. But all of us have chores to do but when the chores are done there are special days and special ways our families have fun. Oh, it's love that makes a family. Last time there are things to see when we look at our families they're as different as can be. But the fact about a family is the key. It makes a family. I'm singing. So, Aurora, today is M-Day on the Curious Giraffe show and we're doing moms and more. So, who have you invited to be on the show today? We invited our mom. Yes, so we're going to make room for her on the show. It's time. She's going to come to my seat and I'm going to come and sit behind you and watch and learn from your mom who has something special in her life to share with us. Come on up. And please let us know. Now we all found out who's who in the Curious Crew. Who are you? What's your name? Hi, my name's Alicia Duffy. How are you guys doing today? Good. That's good. Thank you so much for inviting me on your Curious Crew. This is awesome. Yeah. So, you asked me to come on your show to share a little bit about what I do. So, I teach Irish dancing and that's a family business that was started a long time ago. Would you guys like to learn a little bit more about that? Yeah. Yeah? So, I teach Irish dancing. I teach at the Duffy Academy because that's my name. And I teach there and I have help from Aurora and Maddie because I'm their mom and they help me out at dance class sometimes. Do you ever help your families out with things around the house and whatnot? Yeah. It's kind of like that, but maybe a little bit more work, just a little bit. So, in my family as I was growing up, we always did Irish dancing. That was something that was always there. And when I was little, sometimes I really liked it. Sometimes it was a lot of work and I didn't like it just so much. But now that I'm an adult, I really, really love it. So, I'd love to teach you a little bit about it. For my family, my family came from Ireland and that's where both my grandparents are from. And my grandmother, who was from Dublin, took from master teachers. And her family were all entertainers. Did you ever hear people for fun going to like a concert or to a show? They went to go see a band to play because it's just for fun, right? My family were the entertainers. And back then, if you were really good, you got to perform for these halls. And these halls were where you get to meet everybody. So, you would go to these, it's kind of like a big party. You go to these halls and you would listen to great music and you'd get up there and dance and then you get to meet people. Maybe somebody who had like a crush on, maybe a little bit. And that's how my grandparents met and became a couple, yeah. Okay, so I'm listening. So, at this concert, you went to watch the entertainers who were the dancers, but then the audience got to dance too? They did. That's the best kind of concert. Yeah, I like those concerts that you get to participate in too. So, that's how my grandparents came to come together. And my grandmother's side is all musicians, but then they started to do dancing as well. And so, I wanted to talk a little bit about Irish dancing and why I like doing it if maybe you guys wanted to try some out. So, did you ever see Irish dancing before? Yeah, some of you are saying yes. Some of you are like, nope, not. So, for Irish dancing, if you've seen it, do you notice anything very kind of strange, a little bit different about Irish dancing compared to some other dancing? I think you better show us. Well, so some of us don't have anything to compare to. Maybe the people who know. Irish dancers, they don't do a whole lot of arm movements. There's no Irish dances that you see doing the disco, right? There's one little condensed one where we do dance. Oh, we go a little crazy with our Irish dancing. But for most Irish dancers, what you'll typically see is that their bodies are very straight and they keep their arms to their sides. Some Irish dancers do it on their hips. Yeah, that's a very popular move now. It's to have your hands upon your hips. I'm not getting an idea. You are going to give me an idea? Oh, that is beautiful Irish dancing. Can I do this? Yeah, you're a very good Irish dance dancer. I guess perhaps you would practice a timer too, maybe. We're also not flat footed ever. We're either on our heels or our toes. That's right, that's right. Very good dance moves. Well, for Irish dancing, they typically keep their arms down. They'll wear shoes like how I have on right now. These ones are the soft shoes. They're called ghillies. Can you guys say ghillies? Ghillies. That's kind of a silly name, don't you think? And we also have hard shoes, which are for percussion. Those are usually everybody's favorites because they make a lot of noise and drive your family crazy at home with the tapping. So those are always exciting to get when you've earned enough skill level to get into that. So I have a very important question for all of you. Do you think that maybe you could learn some Irish dancing with me today? Do you think so? Okay, so in order for me to teach you a little bit about Irish dancing, I think I need everybody to stand up. Can we stand up? All right, you guys are in an excellent formation. What kind of shape do you think this is? Circle. This is a circle. Good job. It's supposed to be a circle, but it's more of an oval shape. We're going to pretend it's a circle right now. So the thing about this dance that I would like to teach everyone is called the circle dance. And so you have all of my permission. If you like this dance, you can certainly teach your friends. I know a lot of my students ask me, is it okay if I do that? And the answer is absolutely yes. So we're going to do a couple different parts of this dance. The first part is skips. So we're going to skip our right foot and then our left foot. We're going to get the circle really small and raise our hands up. So we're going to hop your right foot in and hop your left foot in. And we come up with our hands. And when we do this, you guys can give a big woo-hoo. And then we're going to hop back and hop back. But we don't want to go too close to the edge. So make sure we're staying very close to the car. Small hops. Yeah. So let's try that again. We do that two times. Are you ready? Here we go. Woo-hoo. And open the circle up one more time. And woo-hoo. Woo-hoo. And open the circle up. You guys are great. So now we're going to move this circle to the side. And when we move to a certain side, we're going to move left first. We keep that foot in front and the other foot goes behind. So we're going to go, we're going to hop and then step with our left foot in front, right foot behind. Left foot in front, right behind. Good. And now we're going to hop it back. Hop back and please. Hop back and please. And then we're going to go to the other side. We're going to switch. Don't make that one awesome. And we're going to go to the right again. Beautiful job everybody. To the right. And then we're going to hop it back. Hop it back. And we're going to go to the right one more time. To the right side again. To the right. To the right. To the right. Hop back. Hop back. And one more time to the left. To the left. To the left. To the left. Hop back. Hop back. And then it's because it's my favorite part, we're going to skip in again. Woo! And you go back up in the circle. Good job. One more. Woo! A little steps back. Good job. Now this next part is really fun, but we have to make sure we stay in on the carpet so everybody can get around. This is called thread the needle. And you guys are the thread, and this is the eye of the needle. But in dance class sometimes I call it our magic portal. So I'm going to have Aurora skip through, and everybody's going to skip through and follow Aurora back around to me, back into a circle. Are you ready? Here we go. And one, and two, and three, and four, and five, and six, and seven, and eight. And now we're going to go through the other magic portal. Are you ready? Here we go. Step in just a little bit so everyone can get around. Good job. Go ahead and one, and two, and three, and four, and five, and six, and seven, and eight. Good job everybody. And we're going to skip in again. Ready? Here we go. And back one more time. And back. And just because you've done so well, can you take a big bow? Oh, very nice. So now I'll do something that's called liltting. So liltting is basically humming a tune. And if you guys know this tune, you can help me. So we're going to dance it. Are you ready? You guys did such a great job. I think you look very ready. So the first part is the favorite part. We're going to skip in. Are you ready, Miss Maddy? Here we go. Thank you. Ready? Five, six, ready, here we go. Da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum. Da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum. And go to the left. Jump to the dum, da dum, da da dum, da dum. Now, go to the right. Da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum. Jump to the right, to the right. One more. Hop back to the left and left side, left side, hop. Hop it back, now we go in again. Here we go. Woo-hoo! And back two, three, and back. And in for two, woo-hoo! Back, now we throw the needle. Here we go, follow roar. And two, and three, two, and a dump, dump. And seven, great job. Now follow Miss Maddie. One, and two, good job. Go around three, and four, and five, and six, doing great. Seven, ready, here we go, skip in. Woo-hoo! Well, thank you for everyone for dancing with all, everybody was so included, and this is called the, what again? You can teach all of your friends, especially around St. Patrick's Day. Okay, Dona, what were you just asking? Can I do the mystery box? It's time for the mystery box, all right? Okay, now this time, listen, before I open it. I don't know. Wind chime. Excellent, excellent. I brought a kind of wind chime, because in our song, it's going to talk about a wind chime. And this is a special kind, that when the wind touches that part, that gorges, so I wanted you to see an actual wind chime before we sang about it. And this next song, in a few minutes, let's do our songs first, because it's hard to sing with different notes on that, but this chorus goes, there was music in my mother's house, there was music all around. There was music in my mother's house, and my heart's still full with the sound. Let's sing that. There was music in my mother's house, there was music all around. There was music in my mother's house, and my heart's still full with the sound. There were wind chimes in the window, bells inside the clock, an organ in the corner, tunes on the music box. We sang while we were cooking, or working in the yard. We sang because our lives were really hard. There was music in my mother's house, there was music all around. There was music in my mother's house, and my heart's still full with the sound. And for your family, we might sing, there was dancing. Let's sing there. And here, if you wanna do sign language for dancing, your fingers are like your legs, and this is like the dance floor. There was dancing. Here we go. There was dancing in my mother's house. How about, let's say my family. So we include all our different families. There was dancing in my family's house, there was dancing all around. There was dancing in my family's house, and my heart's still full with the sound. Or Susanna, or Lauren, or Emily. What happens in your family? No, what were you thinking of when you raised your hand? Watching, watching in my family's house, we like to watch things. I also know in your family, you have a lot of animals. Yeah, I think a lot. Should we say something that were animals in my family's house? Yeah. Okay, is that okay? Yeah, how about you wanna make a little animal with your hands? Little animals, here we go. There were animals in my family's house, there were animals all around. What sound do animals make? Your animals. Dogs? Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff. Horses? Dogs and horses. Horses, what sound do horses make? There you go. Okay, how about Susanna, or Emily, or Lauren. Let's get something from your family's. Something your family's do for fun. How about Susanna? I need to pull something out, or I just need to louse it around because dad's there. And then your dad is there? How about there are dads in my family's house? Or there's lounging, or, do you come home and give a hug? When you see somebody you know? No, I just. No, what else do you do? When you come home, yeah. I just go in the house and read. Okay, there's reading! Oh, that's one. Here we go. Yeah, I'm like you. Okay, I like to read a lot. Here we go. There was reading in my family's house. There was reading all around. There was reading my heart still full of the sound. All right, you can hear people reading aloud, maybe. All right, I still want Emily or Lauren to tell us a little bit about their family, what they do. Can you think of something you do just for fun? Or just because you're interested? Or you do some work? Something your family does. Or one person in your family might really like this thing, and so you all learn about it. Or just playing, is there playing in your house? How about singing? Your family sings. You all sing my songs, right? Let's do singing. Okay, and then we'll have to finish up. There was singing in my family's house. There was singing all around. There was singing in my family's house. And my heart still full with the sound. Aurora, what was your idea? When you said Dona had a lot of pets. Yes. That reminded me of a story. This kid really wanted a gecko that they had. And they have all sorts of reptiles there and stuff. His grandpa was like, no way. You already have a hundred good Jillian pets. And I'm like, oh, I don't have any. Congratulations. And he's like, no, literally. He has 24 rabbits, two horses, and like, five. Yeah, so some people really, just like in our family song, some of us have lots of pets and some of us have none. Okay, it's time to stand up and sing goodbye. Oh, really? Can I hold you? You know, we'll all get a turn. In just a minute, okay? Because this is not going to go with our song. Can you line up for the song, please? And then, oh, actually, let's see if we can do it this way. Ready? Maddie, get in the lineup and sing, sing, keep singing, keep looking up. Ready? And we'll hold this up to look up at, okay? Keep singing, keep looking up. Keep asking questions and never give up. Keep singing, keep looking up. Keep asking questions and never give up. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time. Bye. Bye-bye. There was music in my mother's house. There was music all around. There was music in my mother's house. And my heart still full with the sound. There were wind chimes in the window, bells inside the clock, an organ in the corner, tunes on the music box. We sang while we were cooking or working in the yard. We sang because our lives were really hard. There was music.
